Biomedical engineers have been experimenting with new
innovative materials composed mostly of corn. Students in the undergraduate
teaching labs at SEAS are investigating plant-based materials that may help
regrow damaged neurons. This technology may produce things such as corn-based
glue that can heal an injured eyeball. I know that there was much debate in
class about using living animals for medical advancements and was wondering
what the class's thoughts were on this article.
I think this is a great place to look to make medical advances. I dont think anyone would feel bad about using corn for this purpose. More importantly, corn is a safe, sustainable resource that can be used to make the materials.
